Local perforator flaps may be utilised to correct volume defects after breast-conserving surgery (BCS), improving the cosmetic outcome and avoiding the need for contralateral symmetrising surgery. The aims of this study were to assess longer term oncological outcomes following local perforator flap reconstruction, and to demonstrate the learning curve associated with incorporating such techniques within routine clinical practice. We report a consecutive case series of 116 local perforator flaps performed between January 2014 and May 2020. Data collected included patient demographics, tumour characteristics, surgical procedure data, complications and follow-up outcomes. All breast cancer patients are followed with annual mammographic surveillance for a minimum of five years. Of 116 procedures, 101 were performed as immediate partial breast reconstruction and 15 as delayed reconstructive procedures for patients who had prior breast surgery. The overall complication rate was 15%; the majority were minor surgical site infections, 1.7% required haematoma evacuation. At a median follow-up of 37 months, there were no local cancer recurrences. Three patients who underwent delayed reconstruction required revision procedures, and one required a contralateral symmetrisation procedure. One patient in the immediate reconstruction group required additional lipofilling. Over time, the mean lesion size selected for immediate local flap reconstruction increased, operative times decreased and the proportion of day case procedures increased. Our data confirm that local perforator flaps are associated with low morbidity, excellent oncological outcomes and long-term durability. The use of local flaps can increase the range of indications for BCS, reducing mastectomy rates and the associated revision and symmetrising procedures associated with them.
局部穿支皮瓣可用于纠正保乳手术后(BCS)的体积缺陷,改善美容效果,避免对侧对称手术的需要。本研究的目的是评估局部穿支皮瓣重建后较长时间的肿瘤学结果,并展示将这些技术纳入常规临床实践中的学习曲线。我们报告了 2014 年 1 月至 2020 年 5 月期间进行的 116 例局部穿支皮瓣连续病例系列。收集的数据包括患者人口统计学、肿瘤特征、手术程序数据、并发症和随访结果。所有乳腺癌患者都接受年度乳房 X 线摄影监测,至少随访五年。在 116 例手术中,101 例为即刻部分乳房重建,15 例为先前接受过乳房手术的患者的延迟重建手术。总体并发症发生率为 15%;大多数为轻微的手术部位感染,1.7%需要血肿清除。在中位数为 37 个月的随访中,没有局部癌症复发。3 例接受延迟重建的患者需要进行修正手术,1 例需要对侧对称手术。1 例即刻重建组患者需要额外的脂肪填充。随着时间的推移,用于即刻局部皮瓣重建的平均病变大小增加,手术时间缩短,日间手术比例增加。我们的数据证实,局部穿支皮瓣具有较低的发病率、良好的肿瘤学结果和长期耐久性。局部皮瓣的使用可以增加 BCS 的适应证范围,降低乳房切除术的比率,以及与之相关的修正和对称手术。
